FS: 40 VANSON TT BRITISH STYLE MOTORCYCLE JACKET TWO-WAY ZIPPER

[eyewildshot]

90s production, A discontinued style.
very broken in, easy to wear
The US made two-way brass #10 Talon zipper is entirely functional, very nice
Don't know why Vanson no longer produce it, But, A USA made British style multi-pocket M/C jacket is rare to see and this particular one is great for both riding and casual wear.
I have both a size 42 and 40, better let someone else who can use it more have it, so let go one of them.

So cool, wish it was a 44 or 46

Tha'ts an interesting offer. How is the lining? Is this Vanson's competition weight leather that they're still using today?

The jacket in my view runs 1/2 size big. I have one in 40 and 42. One I wear for layering. My LW car coat was my number one choice when I wore this type of jacket, now is the Vansons and LW. Lastly, I do not wear this when riding, for this type of jacket I prefer the Jhonsons. Much better in my view. The beloved Jhonson made it for me and have taken it to Central Asia on my BMW GS bike.
This jacket has been sold and gifted to a Sonora BMW rider friend of mine. If you see one sub 1k, get it. They are that good.

Are you referring to the Vanson being about 1/2 size big? Oddly, I thought that this model runs actually a little small. I wear a size 38 in the Model B and its measurements are very similair to this TT.

I understand you. I have held them in my hands many times and currently own two of them. But perhaps you are correct. Good luck with your hunt.

It took me more several years to get them. Those are keepers. Besides, I have one in California and the other in Bulgaria. The same goes to the LW car coat. They are very utilitarian, the LW is dressier, but the Vanson does well in most scenarios.

Great jacket and far superior to the latest belstaff take on this style.
